When I first saw Morgan, I though he was toss, but I mustard mit he has improved a great deal. The problem is that Hammond has found form, and the signing of Chaplow has provided us with a quality player that can get forward and score goals. It's good to have three central midfielders fighting for two spots, but sadly for Morgan, first choice at the moment is Deano and Chaplow. Morgan is a player we should keep hold of as hard as possible. If we do get out this god forsaken league this season, he'll be a real asset in the Championship, we know Chaplow is a Championship quality player anyway (if we can sign him permanently, or indeed have already signed him permanently), but it's a new step up for Deano. Who knows how he'll fare in the nPC. Failure to get promoted this season will see him gone anyway, and I dread to think about it but the likes of Fonte, Lallana and Barnard (and possibly Lambert) will follow suit. So, put simply, promotion is a must to keep them around. Can we hang on to Morgan? Sure, we have the means to do it, it'll be the players' decision if he wants to go.

Better ****ing make it count then. Top of the League by January?!?!

Never liked Pot Noodles. Cheap crap. Rather have me some Super Noodles.

I bought some aftershave that smells like breadcrumbs. Birds love it. Can someone please send my aunt a Christmas card? Send it to: Lily Loves, 2b, Well Rd, Tillet, Herts.

Just been on, mine's fine.

Or words to that effect...

A comic genius, he will be missed. RIP

An ok draw but it's my missus's birthday that weekend so i'll no doubt be watching the Norwich vs Droylesdon or Leyton Orient. Groan.

Home to Blackpool, would've preferred away.

This. Against Peterborough, when the play was in the final third, Rickie was on the halfway line helping out. For a player that, as a striker should thrive on tap ins, his positioning is not great. He shouldn't be sold though, he'll come good, but we do need a quality league one striker in addition in January, in a similar mold to Lambert. (Jordan Rhodes pretty please!)

Yes we are. But not in attack if Lambert's out and Barnard is playing with an injury. Wonder how good Doble is, I reckon we might find out soon enough.

Norwich at home please, any excuse to annoy my missus. Or Man U away. Whatever.

Poor Doble must wonder if he'll ever make an appearance!

No recognised strikers on the pitch. Defending a 1-0 lead? Unusual.

Tamworth beating Carlisle. If it stays like that, that's a big cupset, Carlisle are doing well this season. Anyways, I'm off back to work. :-(

Jaidi could be our top scorer this season if he knew how to take his chances. Had a couple of headers last week vs Peterboro, a run and header against Brighton on Tuesday, and another chance today already. He's no Fonte when it comes to goalscoring.

It's ok, we've got Kayne McLaggon and Jake Thomson as back ups. Oh, bugger.

Gutting for Holmes, he's made a good couple of sub appearances and this game was his chance to shine. He'd be a fixture in our side, if he didn't spend so much time in the treatment room.

1-0 already, 4-0 predicted by me. Don't take the urine Saints, 4 is plenty.

Is this your excuse for all the white patches on your jeans?

Based on what I saw, Brighton won't win the league. I don't doubt they'll be in the promotion chase, but as for winning the league, I'd be suprised if they were still up top come May.

I know he's not coming back, but I'd still give my left testicle (the droopy one) to re-sign Antonio. (The fact that we won't get him mean my bollock is safe, but it's a price worth paying to see him back here.) Stupid Reading.

I wouldn't be suprised if it is: Davis: Got to keep a core of regulars. Butterfield: Giving him some game time and Frazer a rest Fonte: Same reason as Davis. Martin: Gives Jaidi a break, three games in 7 days is tough for him, poss. Seaborne if he's fit. Dickson: Or Harding if he's fit. Chamberlain: For creativity purposes, he'll tear Cheltenham a new butthole. Gobern: Faith in the youngsters? It's him or Guly. Hammond: As per Davis. Holmes: He's looked good in the last couple of sub appearances, his dead balls are better than anyone elses, and it gives Adam a break. Lambert: Until he scores ffs, this could be the game he needs to find the net. Connolly: If fit, but I'd like to see Doble given a start if he's as promising as people say. Poss. Guly though, playing behind Lambert. Big dilemmas for Adkins, a strong team could cost us with injuries or suspensions, a weak team could cost us an FA Cup run and a growing lack of confidence.

He's a good player but there are many good strikers out there, we ideally need to do what we did last season and sign the best striker (or one of the best strikers) in League One, making us stronger and other teams weaker. To that end, I would still love to see Jordan Rhodes here. Huddersfield would doubtful let him leave, but every player has their price, and he would be perfect to give Lambert a much needed rest. On the odd occassion I've seen him, he looks like a very good young player, knows where the goal is and is every bit as good at heading as Lambert. At 20, he's a fantastic age too. Worth breaking the bank over for the future, IMO. I don't doubt Adkins knows attack is our priority for a signing, January will be an interesting month, as long as someone is brought in, I'm happy.

Over the two games, I'd say Jaidi was one of our best players. Nobody beats him to a header, his run into the Brighton penalty area on Tuesday would've been worth the admission fee alone if he'd headed it in. Brighton fans think he's shyte but he still managed to run the length of the field without being challenged. Lambert is off goalscoring form, and that's how he's judged, but he still works his butt off. He could've had 4 goals or more in the two games, had he been in the same form as last season. Attack is still our weak link though.
